Royal pleco

[Jdj211]

So I picked up this fish tonight. Is it actually a royal? I paid $20. I don't know anything about plecos, is that a good deal?

Royal for sure. Looks to be L190

 

[Recumbent]

It's a good deal. If the eye is not orange or red it could be L191. They grow about 1.5" per year so be patient.

You got that at my shop I bet. Hope he gets nice for you.

L191. nice pickup for $20. I've had one for years, they grow fairly slow.

I have never had a Royal, but have been thinking of getting one.
Do they just nibble on wood? Or do they absolutely destroy it?
I have a few pieces in my main display tank that I would hate to lose.

Yup its 191 very nice

if theyre big they destroy the wood. If you have large groups of smaller ones they too destroy wood.

Thanks. Maybe I will get something else then.
But I do like the look of a Royal.
